General

Somone just tried to hack me?

So I was in the FM today just sitting there and I get a trade from someone. he wasn't trying to sell me anything he just asked me if I could help him defeat magnus so we could become rich. Then he asked if I had a Skype and he said he would cast God mode and no delay. it sounded kinda sketchy I wasn't sure so I just cancelled and went on my way
But I wanted to share my story and to know if it was someone trying to hack me
Ohh and his IGN: ArmGold

@fradddd:

you can't hack someone with only their ip.. unless you're trying to say that he's randomly going to ddos him / get his ip for no reason.

@Pactom both things happen, so pick your poison.

Basically, the guy Skypes with you, and he can steal your IP address through Skype, so then he hacks your IP.[/quote]

wrong, he sends him the "godmode" with a keylogger installed to it. so he hacks his account

Isn't that the guy named Blues or something?

Well people do that all the time so I'd assume it's a normal safe thing.

Just kidding. I hope you people are all kidding too, because this issue was talked about a CRAP TON on Basil in the past few weeks.

Why didn't you help him?
You could have been rich.

He's probably going to give you a hack which would be a keylogger to get all your items.

Well, are you sure you should be trusting someone who says they'll be casting God Mode and no delay?
